“I see my life as a large canvas of opportunity, so each day I create a masterpiece. My art expresses my feelings about my life and the world around me”

Charles Washington was born in the Carolinas and is a descendent of the Gullah people. He attended Delaware State College, where he studied Art Education and the fine arts. After a period of time living in New York pursing his goal as a professional artist, he set his eyes on Houston, TX in the late 80s and has lived and worked here for over 30 years. He is a mixed-media visionary and environmental artist whose wide range of techniques and materials defy a single definition. He’s better known as a renaissance man than simply an artist. His body of work includes recycled, functional, and wearable art with 3D work including sculpture, doors, canvas, and one of a kind cards, featuring subjects such as African pastoral, American Jazz, and free-form design. Mr. Washington's’ work is thought provoking and speaks volumes on a variety of cultural, historical, and current subjects.
